The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
EvilDan:
I honestly never read Jim Butcher or sadly heard of him before approximately 3 months ago. WHen I read the snippet explaining a detective in Chicago.. who is also a wizard, I was determined to read them. Sadly, I'm done what is currently published in the series at this point, but 14 books in 3 months isn't too bad at all.
I can easily say it was the most compelling, most addictive book series I have ever read. I'm a big fan of Jim Butcher now and will forever look out for all releases. Now I'm reading all of his other works starting with the Furies of Calderon.
I've never met Jim, and I'm sure he is extremely busy and super well received at this point, but I wish he could somehow produce at least one Dresden Files book a year. :)
Talking about the show, I watched the first episode or two on Netflix, but sadly could not get into it since so much seemed to differ from the books. Sadly, it just wasn't the same. I'm hoping for a proper reboot that stays true to the books. :)

Hi EvilDan- He used to publish a DF book a year. He is now taking more time, which I guess is normal. I can only think that after a time you need to do other things or you got burned out of the characters.
Also, he is now writing a new series, a steampunk one.

Yes, I did read that elsewhere in the forums. I realize the books are quite in depth and that maintaing his level of quality takes quite a bit of time, that and a good writing needs to expand beyond one idea.
Either way its all good. I'm just really addicted. :)
Rasins:
Another factor is that he is now writing the Cinder Spires books.
For the last couple/few books he wasn't working on any others, and he's even said that he gets tired of Harry after awhile.
So, with him working on something else, it may actually speed up his writing of TDF.

None of the above selections. I heard about the books and read them first. Learned about the tv series about the same time it was cancelled. I could not imagine how they could succeed in turning this series into a tv show...there is just too much there.
I heard about the books from a hardboiled detective novel bookworm that I encountered on a different tv show chat forum. When that series ended those fans remaining talked mostly about books.
